Theorem 2.2. Let \( A \) be Möbius equivalent to a domain with boundary rotation \( \leq {k\pi } \) . If \( k \leq 4 \), then \[ \delta \left( A\right) \leq \frac{{2k} + 4}{6 - k}. \]
The main lines of the proof are the same as those in Theorem 2.1. After similar initial remarks we start from (2.10), assuming this time that \( {S}_{f}\left( 0\right) < 0 \) . In the first line of (2.11) we now ignore the third integral and conclude that \[ \left| {{S}_{f}\left( 0\right) }\right| \leq \frac{1}{2}{\lef...

This follows immediately from the way the local parameters of \( W/G \) were defined in the proof of Theorem 2.6. In the situation of Theorem 3.2, the conformal structure of \( W \) is said to have been projected to \( W/G \) . If \( W \) is a given Riemann surface, we always regard the quotient \( W/G \) as the Rieman...

Proof. It follows from Theorems 2.3,2.5, and 3.2 that the quotient \( D/G \) is a Riemann surface with the projected conformal structure. By Theorem 2.2, the mapping (2.2) is a homeomorphism of \( D/G \) onto \( S \). It is conformal, because the conformal structure of \( S \) is also obtained by projection from \( D \...

Lemma 4.1. For a Kleinian group \( G \), every point \( \zeta \in L \) is the cluster point of each orbit \( G\left( z\right) \), with the possible exception of \( z = \zeta \) and one other point \( z \in L \) .
We first deduce from this lemma that if \( G \) is not elementary, every point of \( L \) is the cluster point of other limit points. Hence, \( L \) is then always a perfect set. It follows that for Möbius groups there is a striking dichotomy: Either the limit set contains at most two points or else it contains uncount...

Proof. Assume that the tangent exists at a fixed point of a loxodromic element \( g \in G \) . We may suppose without loss of generality that the fixed point of \( g \) lies at \( z = 0 \), that the tangent at \( z = 0 \) is the real axis and that \( \infty \) is the repulsive fixed point of \( g \) .

Theorem 4.2. The boundary of an invariant component of a quasi-Fuchsian group is either a circle or a Jordan curve which fails to have a tangent on an everywhere dense set.
Proof. First, if \( A \) denotes an invariant component, we clearly have \( \partial A \subset \partial \Omega \) . From (4.3) we then conclude that \( \partial A \subset L \) . If the group is not Fuchsian, it always contains loxodromic elements (Lehner [1], p. 107). By (4.4), we have in this case \( \partial A \subse...

Proof. Let \( S \) be a compact Riemann surface and \( G \) the covering group of \( H \) over \( S \) . The vertices of a Dirichlet region of \( G \) cannot have a limit point in \( H \) . Hence, by Theorem 5.1, a Dirichlet region for \( G \) has a finite number of sides. We conclude using Theorem 4.1 that \( G \) is ...

We saw in 4.1 that cover transformations are translations \( z \rightarrow z + m{\omega }_{1} + n{\omega }_{2}, m, n \in \mathbb{Z} \) .

Proof. As in the proof of Theorem 7.2, we may replace \( S \) by its universal covering surface \( D \). Let two points \( {z}_{1} \) and \( {z}_{2} \) of \( D \) be given. Since the distance from \( {z}_{1} \) and \( {z}_{2} \) to \( \partial D \) is infinite, we can find a Jordan domain \( G,\bar{G} \subset D \), suc...

Theorem 5.4. The Bers imbedding \( \lambda : {T}_{S} \rightarrow T\left( G\right) \) is biholomorphic.
Proof. Suppose first that \( Q\left( G\right) \) is finite dimensional. (By IV.5.5, this is the case if \( S \) is compact; cf. also 9.7.) We then conclude directly from Theorem 5.2 that \( \lambda \) is biholomorphic using the theorem by which a holomorphic bijection is always biholomorphic in finite dimensional manif...

Theorem 5.5. Quasiconformally equivalent Riemann surfaces have isometrically and biholomorphically isomorphic Teichmüller spaces.
Proof. Let \( S = {H}^{\prime }/G \) and \( {S}^{\prime } = {H}^{\prime }/{G}^{\prime } \) be quasiconformally equivalent Riemann surfaces. We consider a lift of a quasiconformal mapping of \( S \) onto \( {S}^{\prime } \) to a self-mapping of the lower half-plane. There is no loss of generality in assuming that the li...

Theorem 5.6. The elements of the modular group \( \operatorname{Mod}\left( S\right) \) are biholomorphic automorphisms of the Teichmüller space \( {T}_{S} \) .
Proof. By Theorem 5.5, a quasiconformal mapping between the Riemann surfaces \( S \) and \( {S}^{\prime } \) induces a biholomorphic isomorphism \( {T}_{S} \rightarrow {T}_{{S}^{\prime }} \) . The elements of the modular group are such isomorphisms induced by quasi-conformal self-mappings of \( S \) .

Lemma 6.1. Let \( \left( {{\omega }_{1},{\omega }_{2}}\right) \) be a base of \( G \) . Then \( \left( {{\omega }_{1}^{\prime },{\omega }_{2}^{\prime }}\right) \) is a base of \( G \) if and only if\n\n\[{\omega }_{1}^{\prime } = a{\omega }_{1} + b{\omega }_{2},\;{\omega }_{2}^{\prime } = c{\omega }_{1} + d{\omega }_{2...
Proof. The validity of (6.1) with integral coefficients is clearly a necessary condition. It becomes sufficient if (6.1) can be solved with respect to \( {\omega }_{1} \) and \( {\omega }_{2} \) so that \( {\omega }_{1} \) and \( {\omega }_{2} \) are linear combinations of \( {\omega }_{1}^{\prime } \) and \( {\omega }...

Lemma 6.2. Let \( S \) be a torus and \( p \) and \( q \) arbitrary points of \( S \) . Then there is a conformal mapping \( f : S \rightarrow S \) homotopic to the identity such that \( f\left( p\right) = q \) .
Proof. Let \( \pi : \mathbb{C} \rightarrow S = \mathbb{C}/G \) be the canonical projection and \( z \in {\pi }^{-1}\{ p\}, w \in \) \( {\pi }^{-1}\{ q\} \) . A translation commutes with every \( g \in G \) . Therefore, the mapping \( \zeta \rightarrow \zeta + t\left( {w - z}\right) \) can be projected to a conformal ma...

Theorem 6.1. Let \( S = \mathbb{C}/G \) and \( {S}^{\prime } = \mathbb{C}/{G}^{\prime } \) be tori and \( \theta : G \rightarrow {G}^{\prime } \) an isomorphism. Then there is a homeomorphism of \( S \) onto \( {S}^{\prime } \) which induces \( \theta \) .
Proof. Let \( \left( {{\omega }_{1},{\omega }_{2}}\right) \) be a base of \( G \) and suppose that \( \left( {{\omega }_{1},{\omega }_{2}}\right) \rightarrow \left( {{\omega }_{1}^{\prime },{\omega }_{2}^{\prime }}\right) \) under \( \theta \) . Consider the affine transformation \( \alpha \) which fixes 0 and maps \( ...

Theorem 6.2. Let \( S = \mathbb{C}/G \) and \( {S}^{\prime } = \mathbb{C}/{G}^{\prime } \) be tori and \( \left( {{\omega }_{1},{\omega }_{2}}\right) \) and \( \left( {{\omega }_{1}^{\prime },{\omega }_{2}^{\prime }}\right) \) normalized bases of \( G \) and \( {G}^{\prime } \) . Then \( S \) and \( {S}^{\prime } \) ar...
Proof. We just showed that \( S \) and \( {S}^{\prime } \) are conformally equivalent if and only if there is a \( \lambda \neq 0 \) such that \( \left( {\lambda {\omega }_{1},\lambda {\omega }_{2}}\right) \) is a base of \( {G}^{\prime } \) . From what we said at the end of 6.1 it follows that this is the case if and ...

Lemma 6.3. Let \( \theta : G \rightarrow {G}^{\prime } \) be an isomorphism generated by a normalized \( K \) - quasiconformal mapping \( f \) . Then\n\n\[{\delta }_{\theta } \leq \frac{1}{2}\log K\]\n\nEquality holds if and only if \( f \) is the affine transformation generating \( \theta \) .
Proof. Let \( w \) be the affine normalized mapping which generates \( \theta \) . If \( w\left( z\right) = \) \( \lambda \left( {z + \mu \bar{z}}\right) \), we see from (6.5) that \( \left| \mu \right| = \left| {{\tau }^{\prime } - \tau }\right| /\left| {{\tau }^{\prime } - \bar{\tau }}\right| \), where \( \tau = {\om...

Theorem 6.4. The mapping \( \psi : {T}_{S} \rightarrow H \), defined by\n\n\[ \psi \left( \left\lbrack \varphi \right\rbrack \right) = f\left( {\omega }_{1}\right) /f\left( {\omega }_{2}\right) \]\n\nwhere \( f \) is the normalized lift of \( \varphi \), is a bijective isometry of \( {T}_{S} \) onto the upper half-plan...
Proof. The mapping \( \psi \) is injective: If \( \psi \left( {p}_{1}\right) = \psi \left( {p}_{2}\right) \), there are mappings \( {\varphi }_{i} \in {p}_{i}, i = 1,2 \), whose normalized lifts \( {f}_{i} \) satisfy the equations \( {f}_{1}\left( {\omega }_{i}\right) = \lambda {f}_{2}\left( {\omega }_{i}\right) \) , \...

Theorem 6.5. The mapping\n\n\[ \left\lbrack z\right\rbrack \rightarrow z \]\n\n(6.13)\n\nis a bijective isometry of the Teichmüller space \( {T}_{S} \) onto the hyperbolic unit disc D.
Proof. The theorem follows immediately from the fact that (6.12) is a bijective isometry of \( {T}_{S} \) onto the hyperbolic upper half-plane.
